your RuneScape character have chance to be changed to a Player Moderator!

It's supposed to be:

your RuneScape character HAS A chance to be changed to a Player Moderator!

Meh. I got the same exact email today. So I typed in noobscammer as username and some cuss words as password.

Anubis · **Posted:** November 1st, 2005, 2:32 am

Waynehead · **Posted:** November 1st, 2005, 11:20 am

Somebody emailed me and said that they would give me 100k if I took them off of my ignore list =p. I didn't even know who he/she was...

Ok, the entire sentence is incorrect. The Jagex Team aren't THAT fond of run-ons. A proper version of it would've been:

You have been chosen by Jagex Staff moderators (which ones?) for the role of a Player Moderator due to your past record in the game (They know this history out of millions of players. How?). Your RuneScape character has a chance to be changed into a Player Moderator! (Exciting?)

Even 'having a chance'. Sounds like player mods are based on luck like those bottle cap contests. The Jagex Team says they're 'hand-picked' and not 'chosen to compete'.

Be careful, though. They knew your e-mail address and that you play Runescape. If you want to find out who, you should consider whoever can know both those things and obviously doesn't like you.

I got that exact same message... seems like somebody's using Rsbandb to discover e-mail addresses... [-X
